When she was 20 weeks pregnant, Maci learned her son Sterling had a congenital heart condition. At Texas Children’s, specialists guided her family with a clear plan and support every step of the way. ❤️
After Sterling’s birth at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women, our Heart Center team provided the care he needed. Maci also found comfort in Parent Pause, a program at the Heart Center that gives families space to recharge and connect with other parents on similar journeys away from the bedside.
“As a first-time mom, it was scary and overwhelming, but having a plan and a team guiding us made all the difference,” Maci shared.
Sterling has since celebrated his first birthday, continuing to grow and show just how resilient he is. 🌟
This Heart Month, we honor every child facing heart challenges and the dedicated teams who make healthier hearts and brighter futures possible at the nation’s #1 pediatric heart center. ❤️
